CHAPTER L— (Continued.)
On a Jounge an elegantly dressed
woman was sitting, reading * novel
"La, cMld!" the cried, "come here and
give me a kiss. So you wear that
sweet-fancied suit again. Is that the
Dutch style, then, child? It must be
extremely charming. I-a. here comes
Richard! H«ris going to ask you to
take a sail o the river; and I shall
lend you my new green parasol. I do
believe it Is the only one In the coun-
try." , .
"I came te sit with you. and work
with my worsteds. Perhaps my moth-
er-might not like me to go on the
river with—any one."
But Katherlne had no time to de-
fend herself; for, wifh his cavalry
cap In his hand and a low bow, Capt
Hyde entered the room. In a few
minutes afterward she was going
down the terrace steps with him; and
he was looking into her face with sign-
ing eyes, and whispering the common-
est words In such an enchanting man-
ner that it seemed to her as If her feet
scarcely touched the low, white steps,
and she was some sort of glorified
Katherlne Van Hoemsklrk. who never,
never, never could be unhappy attain.
They did not go on the river. Capt.
Hyde did not want a third party near,
In any capacity. The lower steps
were shaded by great water beeches,
and the turf under them was green
and warm. A sweeter hour, a lovelier
maid, man could never hope to find;
and Gapt Hyde was not one to neglect
his opportunity.
"Let us stay here, my beloved," be
whispered. "I have something sweet
to tell you. Upon mine honor, I can
,keep my secret no longer."
The Innocent child! Who covjd
blame her for listening to it?—at first
with a Httle fear and a little reluct-
ance, but gradually resigning her
whole heart to the charm of his soft
syllables and his fervent manner, un-
til she gave him the promise he
begged tor—love that was to be for
him alone, love for him alone among
all the sons of men.
What an enchanted afternoon It
was! how all too quickly It fled away,
one golden moment after another!
Iu a few mthutes Joanna and the
alder came In. He had called for her
on his way home; for he liked the
society of the young and beautiful. d
there were many hours In which he
thought Joanna fairer than her sister.
Then tea was served In a pretty parlor
with Turkish walls and colored win-
dows, which, being open Into the gar-
«en, (tamed lovely living pictures of
blossoming trees. Every one was eat-
ing and drinking, laughing and talk-
lug; ao Katherlne'B unusual silence
was unnoticed, except by the elder,
who Indeed saw and heard everything,
and who knew what he did not see
and hear by that kind of prescience
to which wise and observant years at-
tain.
jeanna was talking to Nell Semple
In the recess of a window; but Nell's
fece was white with suppressed anger,
and, though he Beemed to be listening
to her. his eyes—full of yasslon—were
fixed upon Hyde. Perhaps the young
soldier was conscious of it; for he oc-
casionally addressed some trivial re-
mark to him, as If to prevent Nell
losing sight of the advantages he hod
over him.
"The vera air o' this room is gun-
powdery;* thought the elder; "and ane
or the other will be fllnglcg a spark o'
passion Into It .and then the dell will
be to pay. I'll e'en tak' the lassea
taame myaeT; and I'll speak to Joris
for his daughter—as good now as any
other time."
Then he said fc- lis blandest tones.
"Joanna, my dearie, you'll hae to tell
Nell the rest o* your tale the morn;
and, Katherlne, put awa' now that bit
o' busy Idleness, and don your hoods
and mantles, balth o* you. I'm going
to ta' you hame, and I dlnna want to
get my deathe wi* the river mist."
"Pray, sir," said Hyde, "consider me
at your service. I have occasion to
go into town at once, and will do your
duty to the young ladies "*lth infinite
pleasure."
"Much obliged, captain, vera much
obliged; but it ts/s an auld wise-
headed, wise-hearted man like mysel'
to .. alk safely atween two bonnie
lasses.'
While he was speaking, Nell left the
room. He was glad to escape from a
position which he felt to be both pain-
ful and humiliating. He was in a
measure Capt. Hyde's host, and sub-
ject to traditions regarding the du-
ties of that character; any display of
anger would be derogatory to him,
and yet how difficult was restraint!
Bo his father's interference was a
welcome one; and he was reconciled
to his own disappointment, when,
looking back he say the old gentleman
•lowly taking the road to Van Heems-
klrk's, with the pretty girls in their
quilted red hoods, one on each side of
him.
The elder was very polite to his
charges; but he noticed that Kather-
lne was silent and disappointed, and
that she lingered In her own room
after her arrival at home. Her subse-
quent pretty cheerfulness, her delifcht
in her lilies, her confiding claims upon
her father's love—nothing In these
things deceived him. He saw beneath
all the fluttering young heart, trem-
bling, and yet happy in ike %sw, sweet
feeling, never felt before, which had
come co It that afternoon.
But he thought most girls had to
have this initiative; It prepared the
way for a soberer and more lasting
affection. In the end Katherlne would
perceive how Imprudent, how Impos-
sible a marriage with Capt. Hyde must
be; and her heart would turn back to
Neil, who had been her lover from
boyhood. Yet, he reflected, It would
be well to have the matter under-
stood, and to give It that "possibility"
which Is best attained on a money
basis.
So, while he and the Van Heems-
kirks discussed the matter—a little
reluctantly, he thought, on their part—
Katherlne talked with Joanna of the
Gordons. Joanna had not a suspicion
of the joy and danger that had come
to the dear little one at her side. She
was laughing softly with her, even
while the fearful father stood at the
closed door, and lifted up his tender
soul In that pathetic petition, "Ach,
mljn kind! mijn kind! mijn llefsie
kind! Almighty God preserve thee
from all Bin and sorrow!"
CHAPTER il.
Oranje Boven.
"Well, well, to-day goes to Its fore-
fathers, like all the rest; and, as for
what comes after It, everything is in
the love and counsel of the Almighty
One."
This was Jorls Van Heemsklrk's last
thought ere he fell asleep that night,
after Elder Sample's cautious disclo-
sure and proposition. In his calm,
methodical, domestic life, it had been
an "eventful day." We say the words
often and unreflectingly; seldom paus-
ing to cowsider that Buch days are the
results which months, yearB, per-
chance centuries, have made possible.
Thus, a long course of reckless living
and reckless gambling, and the conse-
quent urgent need of ready money,
had made Capt. Hyde turn his
thoughts to the pretty daughter of the
rich Dutch merchant.
"She is a homespun little thing,"
laughed the colonel's fashionable wife,
"and quite unfit to go among people of
our condition. But she adores you,
Dick; and she will be passably happy
with a house to manage, and a visit
from you when you can Bpare the
time."
It was in this mood that Katherlne
and her prcbable fortune had been dis-
cussed; and thus she was but one of
the events, springing from lives an-
terior to her own and very different
from It.
Also, in her father's case, the mo-
tives influencing his decision stretched
backward through many generations.
None the less was their Influence po-
tent to move him. In fact, he forgot
entirely to reflect how a marriage be-
tween his child and Capt. Hyde would
be regarded at that day; his first
thoughts had been precisely Buch
thoughts as would have occurred to <1
Van Heemskirk, living two hundrt
years before him.
Joris' age was not an age Inclined
to analysis, and he was still less In-
clined to it from a personal stand-
point. For he was a man of few, but
positive ideas; yet these ideas, having
once commended themselves to his
faith or his Intelligence, were em-
braced with all his soul. Semple's
communication regarding Capt. Hyde
and his daughter had aroused In him
certain feelings, and led him to cer-
tain decisions. He went to sleep, sat-
isfied with their propriety and justice.
He awoke in precisely the same mood.
Then he dressed and went into his
garden. It was customary for Kath-
erlne to join him there; and he fre-
quently turned, as he went down the
path, to see if she were coming.
But this morning she did not come.
He walked alone to his lily bed;
but his face brightened when he heard
her calling him to breakfast and very
soon he saw her leaning over the half-
door, shading her eyes with both
hands, the better to watch his ap-
proach.
Lysbet was already In her place; so
was Joanna, and also Bram. Jorls
and Bram discussed the business of
the day; Katherlne was full of her
visit to Semple house the preceding
evening. Dinorah was no restraint
The slaves Jorls owned, like those of
Abraham, were born or brought up in
his own household.
And yet, thiB morning, Jorls waited
until Lysbet dismissed her handmaid,
before he said the words he had de-
termined to speak ere he began the
work of the day. Then he put down
his cup with an emphasis which made
all eyes turn to him, and said:
"Katryntje, my daughter, call not
to-day, nor call not any day, until I
tell you different, at Madame Sem-
ple's. The people who go and come
there, I like them not. They will be
no good to you—Lysbet, what say you
In this matter?"
"What you say, I say. Jorls. The
father is to be obeyed. When he will
not, the children can not'
Katherlne had drawn her chair close
to her father'B an.' taken his big hand
between her own aud was stroking and
petting it; then as she answered she
leanei her head upon bis breast
"Father, I tike to the English
lady; and she 1b teaching me the new
stitch."
"Schoone LammetJef There are
many other things tar better for thee
to learn. In these things the beat of
all good teachers Is thy mother/
"I can do these things also, father.
The lady loves me and will he unhappy
not to see me."
"Then, let her come here and see
thee. That will be the proper thing.
Why not? Always honor thyself, as
well as others. That is the Dutch
way; that Is the right way. Mind
what I tell thee."
His voice had gradually grows
sterner, and he gently withdrew his
hand from her clasp, and rose aa a
man pressed with affairs.
When he had left the ruom Lysbet
Instantly began to order the wants of
the house. Katherlne still Bat at the
table; her eyes were cast down, and
she was arranging—without a con-
sciousness of doing so—her bread
crumbs upon her Delft plate. Roused
from her revery she comprehended in
a moment how decisive her father's
orders were intended to be. Yet in
this matter she was so deeply Inter-
ested that she Instinctively made an
appeal against them>
Mother, my mother, shall I not go
once more to see Madam Gordon? So
kind she has been to me! She will
say I am ungrateful, that I am rude,
and know not good manners. Yes,
mother, I may go once. A young girl
does not like to be thought ungrateful
and rude."
"More than that, Katherlne; a young
girl Bhould not like to disobey a good
father. You make me to feel aston-
ished and sorry. Here is the key of
the best parlor; go now and wash
carefully the fine china-ware."
So Lysbet turned and left the room.
She did not notice the rebellious look
on her daughter's face, the lowering
brows, the resentment In the glance
that followed her, the lips firmly set
to the mental purpose. "To see her
lover at all rlskB"—that was the pur-
pose; but how best to accomplish it
was not clear to her.
She lifted the key given her and
went to the parlor. It was a large,
low room, with wainscoted walls, and
a big tiled fireplace nearly filling it
The blinds were closed, but there was
enough light to reveal Its quaint and
almost foreign character. The oval
tables were full of curious bits of
china, dainty oriental wicker-work, ex-
quisite shells on lacquered trays, won-
derfully wrought workboxes and fans
and amulets. As she moved about
among the strange carven toys and
beautiful ornaments, she conoid think
only of Kim—of his Btately manner
and dark, handsome face. She rs-
called every word he Baid to her as
they Bat under the water beeches.
More vividly still she recalled the ten-
der light in his eyes, the lingering
clasp of his hand, his low, persuasive
voice, and that nameless charm ol
fashion and culture which perhaps Im-
pressed her more than any other thing.
Among the articles she had to dust
was a square Indian box with drawers.
It had always been called "the writing
box," and it was partly filled with pa-
per and other materials for letter-
writing. She stood before the open
lid thoughtfully, and a sudden over-
whelming desire to Bend some mes-
sage of apology to Mrs. Gordon came
into her heart. She could write pretty
well and she had seen her mother and
Joanna fold and seal letters; and, al-
though she waB totally Inexperienced
In the matter, she determined to make
the effort.
All difficulties were overcome, one
by one; and the following note in-
trusted to the care of Diedrich Becker,
the old man who worked in the garden
and milked the cows;
"To Mistress Col. Gordon—-
"Honored Madam: My father for-
bids that 1 come to see you. He thinks
you should upon my mother call. That
you will Judge me to be rude and un-
grateful, I fear very much. But that
Is not true. I am happy, Indeed. I
think all the day of you.
"Your obedient servant,
"Katherlne Van Heemskirk."

GOVERNORSHIP CONTEST
Inapaelor In tha Myrd-MoMly Inbnfll%,'
It on Uio Urouud
Ardmore: Acting United States In-:
ipeotor J. W. Zeverly, with heardquar-
teru at Muskogee, arrived in the city.
He was seen with reference to the Byrcl-
Mosely imbroglio, whioh has attracted
the attention of the interior department!
and mew bum of oongreas. Mr. Zeverly
said:
"The reports sent out that I intended
to investigate the seating of Mosely at.
Tishomingo aie true. Charges were
filed with the interior department by a
leading Byrd partisan and the matter
was referred to me by the department. I
selected Tishomingo as the place for the
hearing of the case, and notified the
parties interested to be on hand. The
failure of the man who filed the charges
to notify me that he wonld appear with
witnesses will delay the hearing in-
definitely.
Asked whether the hearing was to be
an ex parte one, Mr. Zeverly replied
that it was the policy of the depart-
ment to hear both sides of the oase.
"1 assumed that both factions," he said,
"would be ready for the hearing."
Inspector Zeverly will remain here,
inspecting the work of the townsite
commission, whioh is rapidly winding
up matters in Ardmore. Commenting
on townsite affair he said that the
work of appranlng and selling lots in
the territory were progressing rapidly.
In the Creek nation the commission has
practically finished with the town.
Work has been bp gun in the Cherokee
nation and in the Chickasaw and Choc-
taw countries. He said everything is
reported in good shape.
"Time has worked wonders," observ-
ed Mr. Zeverly, "in the affairs of the five
civilized triDes. Inhabitants are getting
deeds to their property, waterworks are
being built and handsome strnotnres
are being ereoted. From praotdoally a
wilderness to a strong commonwealth
in ten years speaks volumes for the
people."
A STRICT RULING
The Secretary of Interior 8 y« Tlmb«
Cannot be Cut on Leaned Lands
Guthrie: J. J. Houston, secretary
of the school land leasing department,
bas sent out a letter in answer to quer-
ies about charging for timber cut on
leased lands. There has been much
trouble in allowing timber to be out for
improvements and clearing ground foi
cultivation. So many lessees have tak-
sn advantage of this privilege that il
was necessary to give a special permit
when it was decided to cut timber and
to charge a nominal snm for it. Ths
rule is that when a lessee cuts timbei
contrary to regulations he forfeits hii
lease but the distinction of what is
necessary to out complicated the mat-
ter. It would cause criticism were a
lessee ejected in every case when he has
violated the law, yet the interior de-
partment insists that the lessees have
no right to the timber on the land and
that it must be preserved. Under the
old rule where lessees had a right to cut
timber the territory had an interest in
the improvements. Under present reg-
ulations, in case the lessee relinquishes,
his successor pays for the improvements.
Under the circumstances the many
lessees have to suffer for the wrongs of
the few and all timber out has to be
paid for to prevent depredations.

Irishman's Queer Comment on the
Death of His Horse.
A fare was being rattled through a
Dublin suburb on a rickety jaunting
car drawn by a no less rickety horse.
Having proceeded home distance, the
horse, owing to apparent old age and
sheer exhaustion, fell, never to rise
again. The fare was very profuse in
his sympathies towards the driver,
who, however, appeared to take the
whole thing very coolly, and ex-
plained:
"It's Just like this with me, youi
honor. I don't regret the old brute a
bit He was bad from the start. But,
somehow or other, I can't help think-
ing of the beautiful feed of oats I
gave him this morning."
ODDEST OF ALL FADS.
Lovers of the Day Seek to Have Their
Pictures on Sweethearts' Shoes.
It is said that the fashionable girl
of the present day carries the picturs
of the young man she most loves in

may therefore be learned by looking
at her feet There is nothing occult
about It. Hypnotism, mental telepa-
thy and things of that sort are not
concerned. If the girl Is up to date
all you have to do is to look at hei
feet, for there you will see the pic-
ture of the happy man.
She wears it in the buckle of hei
slipper, bo that tLe best time to learn
the truth is when she is at a dance.
At a function of the kind in wissaaw-
kon recently a half dozen of the girl*
had their sweethearts at their feet
which, according to amatory tradition,
is right and proper.
When the miniature fad original

they moved to the belt buckle, but it

SUBSTITUTION.
Please listen to a short talk upon a
most vitally Important subject—obi
which Is greatly disturbing the busi-
ness world to-day.
You have doubtless heard of the
word "substitution." You have prob-
ably read that "substitution Is fraud."
Tack that saying firmly in your mind
and keep it there. It Is worth some-
thing. It is true—almost Invariably.
You call at a store and ask for an
article of a certain brand or manufao
ture, one which has been thoroughly
advertised for years, and which haa
earned an excellent reputation. The
dealer says "here's something Just aa
good for less money." That dealer
thereby usually tells a direct false-
hood. He knows that the article
which he offers you at a lower price
Is inferior, but the point is that It
yields him a greater profit; hence his
desire to substitute.
You may ask If an article Is superior
Just because It is advertised. Yes, It
Is, and here's why. The mtny well-
known houses which spend millions
of dollars every year In the good pub-
lications of the country are managed
by men of brains and wide business
experience, and these men know only
too well that unless an article has
merit there is absolutely no business
sense in spending good money to ad-
vertise it. It does not pay to adver-
tise any article of general use for s
short time only. Every advertiser
must wait some time before his advei*
tising has created the desired lmpres>
slon and while he ia waiting his goods
must have time to prove whether ot
not they are good. If they are good,
they stick; if not they do not, and If
they were not good and did not stick,
would this experienced business man
continue to spend good money advep
tising the goods—throw good money
after bad as it were? Never! He
has too much business sense.
The average article which yon see
advertised month after month in good
publications is itself good. Buy as
advertised article. It Is the true safe
way.
When you are buying ask for what
you want and get what you ask for.
Remember! "Substitution Is Fraud."

portant St Louis house for a heavy

principals practically carte blanche as
to prices and terms—the state of the

sspecially desirable on account ol
sther circumstances to clinch the sale
Mr. Rogers, the salesman, accord-
ingly was unusually generous in the
matter of price, and the purchase in
ilze greatly exceeded his expectation*
The memorandum of the sale was
written out and was about to be
signed when the buyer asked, "Mr.
Rogers, vat terms vlll you glf ?"

success in making the sale, Mr. Rogers
eplled warmly: "All the time you
want Mr. R "
Mr. R leaned over and confi-
dentially whispered: "Ish dat the best
you can do?"
